Instinctive Critter

Stalking,.....waits awhile

She inhales the woodland airs.....

Animals beware......

Nose to tail the vixen stares.......

Fixated,....... her prey beguiles.....

Premium Member Hungry Critter

While camping up high in the trees
I woke up one “mourning” to pee
Thought that I heard a “bare”
But it was only a “hair”
Who was eating my breakfast with tea.

The dangerous critter is the lowly mosquito They spread germs around the world, my amigos Need to squish them flat With a swat and a splat Watch for blood all over your chemise-o

Bear Winter Apnea

The sleep I desire
is for resting of the mind.
The sleep I desire
will happen when I am tire.
The sleep I desire is now.

Fat Mouse

He has scored three
me still none
He is fat
I, running out of cheese
a little critter he is
outsmarting my genius
this house
not big enough
for the both of us
the battle is on
the outcome
unknown

Critter Power

Forget all you’ve heard about horsepower

Hamsters can take you six miles per hour

  Running a wheel neath the hood

  No oil needed, all is good

These critters can snooze during rush hour

Onanism

Onanism 

The vehemence of sexual arousal 
Quest no gender
A critter owns the vehemence 
On the nib of sexual delirium 
Is solely,
Her and He own sexual pleasure 
Their elate melded with blood en route veins
Onanism brings a euphoric sense of freedom

Ugly Is Not Real

" UGLY " Nasty little critter that someone just "MADE" up!! " BEAUTY " Comes from within,sometimes " DEEP" within the SOULS of the PETALS only crumbles when "UGLY" is whispered in the wind and eyes rest themselves upon the "BEAUTY" of the souls, "NOT" the "SKIN!!" -KLM

Premium Member Limerick Contest-Al the Plumber

Al the plumber was in such a funk 
     He's outwitted by a pesky skunk 
          He got called out at night 
            to such an awful sight 
Critter stuck in a drain, how it stunk!

Premium Member The Prey of Time

The snow--
cool and white--
crisp and fresh--
in the moonlight
a black cat
crosses a path,
and I think:
'such a cruel rap
this critter has gotten!'-
sleek and hushed like the snow
seeking to enter every crevice
reminded by the wind
to cover ground
quickly as possible
all creatures
the prey of time….

Natural and Beyond

NATURAL   AND   BEYOND


(Haiku)

Noble tree critter
Never feels proud or bitter
No epigram fitter




(Senryu)

Looks like uncle Joe?
Each is a handsome so-and-so
Could be God’s plan you know

Premium Member Our Valley

It is mid winter now,
our valley in full frosty
set; all the forest, absent
canopy a crystal wet; 

heard a drippy
critter sneeze, not a wild nose escaping
cold's frigid breeze -- 

bare trees in thick bark sleeves -- 

yet no limbs entirely forsaken 

Nature will again show us, her blossom 
memory --

Tiger In a Cage

Tiger in a Cage
It paces roars and gnashes teeth,
a tiger has its stripes. 
Red and white and black and brown,
and paws so big with claws.
But most of all I wish I was
our God as he’s above — below.
To kiss the critter on the mouth,
his meaty breath — I gag.
And snuggle tender into him and stroke his tiger fur.

Critter Crunch,A Celebrities Lunch

Pop a critter in your mouth,
Its all you get for lunch.
A big juicy bug
on which you have to munch.
You know you really wanna
take a nice big bite,
if you do it fast enough,
then the bug wont fight.
Wash it down
with some fluid
that really looks quite vile,
After that,
you wont want to eat
for really quite a while.

Premium Member The Conch Shell

Listen to poem:
*Image of Conch Shell by Pixabay. The Conch Shell The Conch Shell is a marvel. Its curling feature is a phenomenon, in and of itself, yet it enables you to wonder the sort of critter that it harbors. Its unique vivid inner colors compliment it. 2022 January 13 HMS; 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, syllables.

Haughty hefty Helga has healthy hatred
Igniting ignorant Inga’s inebriated idiocy
Justifying jealous Julie’s juvenile judgements
Kindling crafty Kara’s crazy critter-like craftiness
Leaving Lonesome Larry loathing lofty lying Leland
Making Malicious maltreated Mallory manageable
Nasty negativity nonchalantly noticeable in Neverland.

Premium Member Moment By Myself

Under this asphalt sky
i sit pondering life
enjoying these quiet hours of the night
by myself
no unwanted guests 
to throw me off my thoughts
I sit for hours 
then miraculously 
the dawn breaks through the night
like a knife
awakening every critter
the birdless sky
begins to fill with life and sound
I am embracing every moment

Beware the Liar's Tongue

Whispers heard as sweet nothings here,
Full of enchanted lies just to fill the ears…
Tantalizing young hearts filled by lusty desires,
Broken down rusty critter heading for fire…
What should one in innocence, expect to acquire…
From one who whispers with the tongue of a liar?


Comments: The liar's tongue is full of deceit and there is
no truth in it.
